A E
Oh elise it doesn't matter what you say
F#m
I just can't stay here every yesterday
D
Like keep on acting out the same
The way we act out
A
Every way to smile
Forget
E
And make-believe we never needed
F#m
Any more than this
D
Any more than this
A E
Oh elise it doesn't matter what you do
F#m
I know i'll never really get inside of you
D
To make your eyes catch fire
The way they should
A
The way the blue could pull me in
E
If they only would
If they only would
F#m D
At least I'd lose this sense of sensing something else
That hides away
A
From me and you
There're worlds to part
E
With aching looks and breaking hearts
F#m
And all the prayers your hands can make
D
Oh I just take as much as you can throw
A
And then I throw it all away
E
Oh I throw it all away
F#m
Like throwing faces at the sky
D
Like throwing arms around
E
Yesterday
I stood and stared
F#m
Wide-eyed in front of you
E
And the face I saw looked back
F#m
The way I wanted to
E
But I just can't hold my tears away
F#m
The way you do
G F#m
Elise believe I never wanted this
G F#m
I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises
G F#m
I thought you were the girl always dreamed about
G
But I let the dream go
Fm
And the promises broke
E
And the make-believe ran out
A
So elise
E
It doesn't matter what you say
F#m
I just can't stay here every yesterday
D
Like keep on acting out the same
The way we act out
A
Every way to smile
Forget
E
And make-believe we never needed
F#m
Any more than this
D
Any more than this
A E
And every time I try to pick it up
Like falling sand
F#m
As fast as I pick it up
D
It runs away through my clutching hands
A
And there's nothing else I can really do
E
There's nothing else I can really do
F#m
There's nothing else I can really do
D
At all
